Using Digital Technologies

Abstract

This guidance report aims to help schools consider how they can use digital technology to improve pupils’ learning. Schools use technology in many ways and with a wide range of aims, from those that seek to change classroom practice directly to others that support schools more broadly, for example by tracking pupil data or to facilitate a whole-school behaviour management policy. Though some wider uses are mentioned, the main focus of this report is on applications of technology that aim to improve learning directly. The report does not focus on teaching computing or coding, or on questions related to screen time or the use of mobile devices.
